Epic (eh-pic), adjective: the quality of being insanely awesome, inspiring, or just plain crazy amazing.
Epicosity (eh-pic-kah-city), noun: the definition listed above, except with the word “osity” added to the end.
Yes, I started my extremely serious WJMC blog post with two non-existant definitions (and one non-existant word), but it was an entertaining post, right? If it wasn’t, then it was most certainly informative.
So now you’re like, “Dangit, Kirsten! After a ridiculously strenuous day of walking and talking and writing and mountain-adventuring, why should I believe that any of the listed definitions above are informative? They’re incorrect and non-traditional.”
I threw those definitions in because the words “epic” and “epicosity” accurately define my experiences at WJMC so far. And because I say them at least 4.5 times every 4.5 hours.
Since I didn’t do a post yesterday, I’m gonna brag about the most epic things that I have done the past few days. And I’ve we’ve done a heck of a lot of things.
Yesterday morning was especially epic because we went to the Newseum, which was, in my opinion, one of the more exciting and compelling museums we have visited so far. I saw a lot of gorgeous photographs in the Pulitzer Prize photo gallery and at the ICRC gallery.
I also visited the 9/11 exhibit and saw the video that had footage from the event. I had never understood how devastating and horrifying the event was until I saw the video. I probably never really “got it” because I was so young when I watched the live footage, but this video really reminded me why President Bush was so passionate about the War on Terror.
